Mother conveys to his husband and Gurcharn Singh through his son calls for help ,some young friends of the village and clears the shrine.The lady,his wife, washes the premises and in the evening lights a’’ DEWA’’ (an earthen rape-seed oil lamp)<br /> A miracle has happened, Gurcharn Singh gets well and it is a news all around in the village and also in the vicinity and in the adjoining villages. People throng and congratulate Gurcharan Singh.<br /> It is since that day that the people decided to hold a gathering’’ A MELA’’ a fair, to pay homage to BABA JI for his dignity and SAINTHOOD..They believe that the saints,gurus, prophets,auliya, don’t belong to any particular sect. They are common to humanity and come for their guidance. And are an asset for all those who respect their teachings and care for human values.Their devotion can be seen in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsbcQDrhfXw&feature=player_embedded#at=16<br /> Sant Gurcharan Singh is 85 years old and is living happily with his wife Preetam Kaur . The family is most prosperous in the area.All the six sons are well placed in European countries.They regularly visit their parents,help them in running a welfare trust with the name of SANT PRIVAR TRUST and take active part in the the prosperity and wellbeing of the people .<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> It is a coincidence that the annual URS being held by the descendants of Hazrat Imam Ali Shah Sahib Rehmat ullah aleh at Bhulair chak no.119 dist;-NANKANA SAHIB falls on the same dates as the mela at Rattarchattar although there was no contact between these places since partition.<br /> It was through painstaking search by my son Dr. Syed Mohammad Mohsin that the website ‘’www.rattarchatar.org.in’’ was found ,which ultimately connected me to these persons,as for us the name of Rattarchatar was only confined to the Rly.

There was hardly any thing for immigrants to posses,except a few burnt roofs where they could take shelter from the monsoon rains and the scorching sun.<br /> Gurdut Singh,Vajeer Singh and Gurcharn Singh are three real brothers.The eldest Gurdut is 25 and the youngest about 20.They have long journey before them. They have nothing to rely upon except hope and their youth.Facing all sorts of hardships they put a yoke in their necks,till the land, work day and night to survive and are gradually settled,Get married and have families to bring up.<br /> Twenty years have passed since independence,agriculture has improved, modern methods are being introduced and ,Gurcharn Singh gets a fertilizer depot. Having no place to store the stock, he takes the benefit of the Shrine of Hazrat Imam Ali Shah Sahib and dumps the Urea stock here. Time passes on and Gurcharn Singh feels depressed and un able to move as a healthy person and is slowly confined to his bed.His children are small, the eldest is studying in class 5th or 6th and goes to school at Batala daily by bus.<br /> The financial condition is not so good, there is no one else to look after the family. Doctors find no apparent sighns of ailment and Gurcharn Singh goes lean and thin and is now confined to bed.<br /> The eldest son is alone in a room on the upper story.The winter nights are cool.There is complete silence alround.A knock is heard at the door. The boy gets scared. The door is again knocked and then again.He gets up and opens the door.An old man, in white radiating robes with a staff in his hand is standing there.The boy offers the old man a well come as he has already met him many times.The old man looks at the boy kindly and bades him to tell the parents ‘’If ROZA SHARIEF is cleared of the dumped stock’’ your father will get well’’-----continuedsaadat naqvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01820692716162708200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697865686553162292.post-55373961152538854412011-11-05T04:51:11.966-07:002011-11-05T04:51:11.966-07:00MELA BABA ROJE WALEY DA

My father (now deceased)was born in Chah Meeran District. His name was Seyyed Ejaz Hussein Naqvi. His father's name was Seyyed Mazhar Hussein. I have one photograph of him. I also have black and white photographs from my father, of Makaan Shareef, Gurdaspur, including Imam Ali Shah Saahib's shrine, in the Indian side of The Punjab, where we originally descend from. <br /><br />I have my family tree, which was passed on to me from my cousin, Nadeem Naqvi of Rawalpindi, (My mother's nephew) and also have a photocopy of a book published before the partition, that states our lineage back to Hajji Daniyal of Samarra, Iraq, and then further back down to the Tenth Shi'ah Imam Ali un Naqi, (Alayhissalaam). <br /><br />I was born in The UK, my father migrated there in the 1960's. I have often wished to visit the shrine of my ancestors in Gurdaspur, especially the grave of Hajji Daniyal, but have yet been unable to. However, about a year ago, I managed to visit the shrine of 'his' great grandfather, Imam Ali un Naqi, in Samarra, Iraq. <br /><br />This shrine, not too long before, had been bombed by Wahhabi extremists. It is still under construction. Most of the pilgrims were from other areas of Iraq, Iran and the other world. I cried my eyes out when I entered The Shrine. <br /><br />Later, in the courtyard, I sat after saying my prayers, and questioned a gentleman sitting next to me. 'Ahaza anta min Samarra, akhi'? I asked if he was originally from Samarra, hoping that he may have some knowledge of The Locals. Perhaps they were some who shared their lineage with me, via Hajji Daniyal. 'No', he replied. He was from Kuwait. As my vision gazed over the shattered ruins to the entrance to that holy shrine, I cried some more.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989513500600886615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7697865686553162292.post-76695917178042431092010-11-23T23:00:47.044-07:002010-11-23T23:00:47.044-07:00The shrine was used as an observer's post duri...The shrine was used as an observer's post during the Indo-Pak wars of 1965 and 1971 by the Indian army and was shelled. The mortars pierced the shrine walls at different places damaging the structure and some live mortars can still be seen stuck in the walls.The big horizontal slit made for the observer post in the top dom is also visible and is adding unstability to the dom.<br /> The Masjid(mosque) had five doms and a big hall, one of the five doms has perished and the hall roof has also fallen.<br /> These structures in those days(1870s) were constructed with an estimated cost of Rs.200000/-<br /> There was vast agricultural land dedicated(WAQAF) for the maintenance of these structures.The income of this WAQAF land is being used by the Govt: of Pakistan which is requested to endeavour in this respect.<br /> The shrine of Hazrat Shah Hussain PHORAY WALEY SAHIB is eqally in bad shape.

Brief History,
Medi...MAKANSHARIEF<br /> Brief History,<br /> Medieval North India:<br /> The original name of Makan sharief was ''Rattar Chattar''.It was located on a high mound on the left bank of river Ravi.It was the governing seat of a Hindu Raja named Chattar Dhari.May be Dhari Chand, and Chattar(The RoyalUmbrella)under which his throne was kept.So he was famous by the name of Chattar Dhari.<br /> '' The raids by Mahmud of GHAZNI,had generated,as Alberuni testifies,<br /> strong resentment against Muslims among Indians who had to face the<br /> brunt of his savagery in northwestern India. References in some of the<br /> Gahadavala and Chahamana inscriptions to a “Turukshka danda,” a tax<br /> on Muslims or for meeting expenses on defense against raids by them,<br /> support this impression''.<br /> (Medieval India by Iqtidar Alam Khan 2008 Prof. Aligarh University)<br /> Chattar Dhari was an orthodox Hindu, deadly against Muslims.Hindu jogies had also an ASTHAN here.A story goes like this,"That the muslims failing to pay the "Turukshka danda" were made to drip their blood(Ratt in local language)on his umbrella(Chattar in local language).Thus the place came to be known as "Rattar Chattar".<br /> Hazrat Daniyal,who was resident of Samra Iraq and a decendent of Imam ALI Naqi in his 18th generation was at Madina Tul Rasool(peace be upon him and his progenies)after performing many Hajj at Makka. H e had a devine revelation there to go to India and preach Islam.He landed at the port of SURAT,went to Ajmair Sharief on the shrine of Vali e Hind Hazrat Moeen ul Din Chishti and form there to Delhi.There was great disturbance.Syed dynasty was ruling Delhi,Mubarik Shah(1421_1432)and Mohammad Shah (1434-1445).<br /> C O N T I N U E Dsaadat naqvihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01820692716162708200noreply@blogger.com
